    Earlier this week, Carney joined British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron in threatening to impose sanctions on Israel in response to its “denial of essential humanitarian assistance” in Gaza.

    The Western leaders’ letter followed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying his country would control Gaza despite mounting international pressure to lift a blockade on aid supplies that left the enclave on the brink of famine.

    Netanyahu condemned the joint statement in a social media post and called it “a huge prize for the genocidal attack on Israel on October 7,” referring to Hamas’s attack against Israel in 2023 which ignited the war in Gaza

    Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre also took aim at Carney’s joint statement.

    “The Hamas terrorists have just thanked Mark Carney for his recent statement on Israel,” he posted online Tuesday.

    The IDF said it “regrets the inconvenience caused.”
